in joe biden's language, will the fever break by the time the president is sworn in again for his second term? because if it doesn't, then whatever you see in the first week of trading now is going to be nothing, nothing compared to how global markets will react come the end of january. >> there's obviously a new congress coming in. does the composition in the new congress, can anybody figure out what happens there? >> well, i mean, numerically, it's more favorable to democrats, right? the house will still be controlled by john boehner. so you still have that divided congress. but the calculation is not, you know, a numerical one. it's the idea that if they go home -- first if they go home for christmas break, they'd feel the pressure, but it doesn't seem like that's coming. if they go over the cliff and they do mess with the debt ceiling, that people are going to get freaked and spooked because you'll start hearing stories about social security recipients facing the prospect of smaller checks from the government, unemployment insurance completely dried up, payroll tax cut is a big thing

he didn't need 100,000 troops to do that, as joe biden advised him. all you needed was a special ops war. i wrote this in "the new yorker" in november of 2001. that this was going to be a special ops war. it's been insane ever since. >> and the reality, gene robinson, is that we do have these drones. that have scattered al qaeda and of course the drones are following them into somalia and yemen and following them into countries. i mean, it's an entirely new set of facts on the ground that do not require 100,000 u.s. troops. >> no. they don't. and we need to rethink how we fight these wars. you know, the answer is not to, you know, load up the huge transport planes and send a bunch of heavy equipment halfway around the world anymore. but as everybody has said, though, we have to be mindful of the relationship with pakistan. my question is, how does it help our future relationship with pakistan or dealing with pakistan when in fact we are essentially at war with them because that's where the taliban is hiding? so we've got to make drone attacks and raid

joe biden are doing is joining forces. a lot of companies have jumped in, siemens, honeywell, sears, the travel industry, members of that as well, and they are hiring veterans and gaining the benefits. it is a moral imperative i think to bring our soldiers home and give them a job. >> i think everybody gets that. but i have heard recently, we have to be constantly reminded of this, it's more complicated than it appears, because a lot of times, for example, the teamsters have done a great job of taking men who are qualified, mostly men, to drive the big trucks in the military. they have got a special kind of license. we recognize that in civil society. but as soon as they leave the military, they lose that license. and it doesn't carry over into their civilian life. so they have got to go reapply, they have to get relicensed, they've got to rent a truck to pass the test. teamsters have moved in to say we're going to help you with that and give you the training program. it's that kind of complication. the pieces don't always

the obama-biden ticket comes out ahead by five points when senator rob portman of ohio is added to the ballot. in virginia, governor bob mcdonald helps romney bring the race to within the margin of error. and in florida, a romney-rubio ticket trails the president and vice president by four points, while jeb bush narrows the democrats' lead to two points. kind of interesting. >> mark, any surprising numbers there? >> well, the key number to look at in the romney campaign will say, and they're right, is the president's number. romney's number matters less. that shows you how close the election is. he's got to get to 50. it will be a pretty pure two-person race in all of the states. and 48 is high enough that he can pull this out. but the normal analysis is the incumbent is not going to get a lot of the undecided vote and 48 is not enough to win. but i think we all agree that this race is more in play now than we thought it was a couple of weeks ago. >> so close. it's just going to be so close. and the margin, we go back to this gay marriage thing, on substance i applaud the president for
